Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a plurality of internal features to be incorporated into a cooling microcircuit in a turbine engine component.
- A wide variety of cooling circuits have been used to generate a flow of cooling fluid over surfaces of turbine engine components. However, these cooling circuits have not been effective. FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate existing supercooling blade designs. These designs have film and internal cooling limitations. In general, these limitations lead to cracking in a relatively short period of hot operating time. Cracking occurs at the suction and pressure sides of the blade as depicted in theses figures. Current cooling circuit exit slot configurations are also prone to limitations on film coverage. In some designs, film from the slots exits normal to the main hot gas path, and the slot exit areas is considerably reduced by coat-down.
- Thus, there is needed a more effective cooling circuit.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a cooling microcircuit for use in turbine engine components, such as turbine blades, which convectively cools the blade with a high degree of convective efficiency (heat pick-up).
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a cooling microcircuit for use in a turbine engine component. The cooling microcircuit broadly comprises a channel through which a cooling fluid flows, at least one exit hole for distributing cooling fluid over a surface of the turbine engine component, and means within the channel for accelerating the flow of cooling fluid prior to the cooling fluid flowing through the at least one exit hole.
- Further in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a turbine blade for use in a turbine engine. The turbine blade broadly comprises an airfoil portion formed by a suction side wall and a pressure side wall, and a cooling microcircuit incorporated in at least one of the suction side wall and the pressure side wall. The cooling microcircuit comprises a channel through which a cooling fluid flows, at least one exit hole for distributing cooling fluid over a surface of the turbine blade, and means within the channel for accelerating the flow of cooling fluid prior to the cooling fluid flowing through the at least one exit hole.
- Other details of the microcircuit cooling for blades of the present invention, as well as other advantages attendant thereto, are set forth in the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals depict like elements.
-
- FIG. 1 illustrates an airfoil portion of a turbine engine component having a cooling microcircuit;
- FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a set of internal features to be incorporated into a cooling microcircuit;
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the cooling microcircuit taken along lines 3 - 3 in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a photograph of an existing supercooling blade design with poor film holes coverage on the airfoil suction side; and
- FIG. 5 is a photograph of an existing supercooling blade design with poor film holes coverage on the airfoil pressure side and leading edge.
- Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates an
airfoil portion 10 of aturbine engine component 12, such as a turbine blade. Because of advances in refractory metal core technology, it is now possible to form acooling microcircuit 14 in awall 16 of the airfoil portion. Thecooling microcircuit 14 may be used to convectively cool the blade with a high degree of convective efficiency (heat pick-up). Convective efficiency is a measure of heat pick-up by the coolant. Convective efficiency can be increased by a range of design parameters. These include: an increase in wet surface area, such as the perimeter of the cross-sectional area with high aspect ratio, and/or the internal heat transfer coefficient by means of internal features such as pedestals of various shapes (circular, elliptical, diamond-shaped, airfoil shaped, etc.). - One of the advantages associated with the use of refractory metal core technology is that the refractory metal core sheets may be formed to conform to the airfoil profile. This allows for forming the
exit slots 18 for film cooling with high film coverage. In this way, the cooling film blanket will stay adjacent to the blade external wall providing a protective film cooling blanket and thus avoiding film blow-out and premature film decay. - Fig. 2 illustrates internal features which may be incorporated into the
cooling flow channel 11 of acooling microcircuit 14. These features have very important heat transfer attributes. Thecooling flow channel 11 may be supplied with a flow of cooling fluid from any suitable source (not shown) via one or more inlets (not shown). - The internal features which may be incorporated into the
cooling microcircuit 14 include a first set of internal features such as a pair of dog-leggedpedestals pedestals region 24, the flow of cooling fluid accelerates through the cooling circuit. For subsonic flow regimes with a Mach number less than unity, a decrease in flow area leads to an increase in flow velocity. As the cooling flow velocity increases inregion 24, the heat transfer coefficient increases. As the flow accelerates and attains a maximum velocity, it is desirable to maintain that high velocity as long as possible. Therefore, thepedestals region 26 for that effect.Region 28 formed by thepedestals - After exiting the
region 28, the cooling fluid flow preferably encounters a second set of internal features, such as a pair ofshaped pedestals region 28 accelerates, it will impinge on the leadingedge 34 of each of thepedestals edge 34. Small diameters will enhance the internal heat transfer coefficient. - The
pedestals convergent section 36 where the area change decreases. This change forces the velocity to increase once again leading to high heat transfer coefficients. Thepedestals region 38 which is used to maintain high velocity and to straighten the flow before exiting to the next section in the cooling scheme. - The
cooling microcircuit 14 can have many arrangements with the aforementionedinternal features airfoil portion 10. - At the end of the
cooling microcircuit 14, a series ofinternal features 40, usually teardrop shaped, can be placed to direct the cooling flow in such a manner as to provide an improved film cooling blanket along the exterior surface of theairfoil portion 10. - As shown in FIG. 3, at the end of the
features turbine engine component 10 as it exits inregion 42. This film cooling can be improved by introducing another film row out of acooling hole 44 placed in each of thefeatures cooling hole 44 may be supplied with a flow of cooling fluid in any suitable manner such as from a blade inner air plenum. This allows for film superposition and convection cooling of thefeatures hole 44 may be machined right through the feature and the airfoil wall. This is particularly important for protecting the pressure side trailing edge from large thermal loads occurring in rotating blades. - The internal features described hereinbefore can be fabricated using a refractory metal core sheet which has been laser cut to have holes in the shapes of the internal features.
- While the present invention has been described in the context of a single cooling microcircuit, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that each cooling microcircuit formed in the walls of the
airfoil portion 10 can utilize the internal features described hereinbefore. - While the present invention has been described in the context of a turbine blade, the cooling microcircuit could be used in other turbine engine components.
